Brazilian Blowout & FDA Concerns

0 Comments

Some hair salons are starting to take precautions against possible formaldehyde in hair
straightening products like the Brazilian Blowout.

Concerns that the popular hair smoothing solution, known generically as Brazilian or Keratin treatments, could expose hair stylists to health risks. Investigations into the product in the United States and Canada led to product being pulled from shelves in Canada along with a warning issued to
stylists and consumers who used it. In the US, the FDA and Federal Trade Commission are still conducting their investigations.

Stories of those who have suffered ill effects from the Brazilian Blowout started in 2007, including an article in Allure magazine piece titled “Scared Straight”. The magazine collected samples of the treatments and them to an FDA-registered lab for testing where it was determined that they contained ten times more formaldehyde than the .2 percent that is determined to be safe by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, exposure to large amounts of the chemical can cause serious health problems, including cancer.

OSHA, the agency responsible for workplace safety and health, issued an alert warning September 30, 2010 that samples of the Brazilian Blowout and Acai Professional Smoothing Solution (both sold by the same company) contained between 4.85 and 10.6 percent formaldehyde. When Canada’s health agency tested Brazilian Blowout, it found 12 percent formaldehyde.

BEWARE and do your homework on all new products ladies!

Knock Out Two-Strand Twists

0 Comments

Double strand twists are simple, carefree, and a great way to give your hair a break from the wear and tear of everyday styling. You can enjoy your twists for a few days, a few weeks, or untwist for a wonderful twist out with soft waves. It’s a great way to show off the beautiful that gorgeous texture that you have been blessed with!

  1. Prep hair by washing with Hydrating Invigorating SLS-Free Shampoo, conditioning with Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner, gently towel dry hair to remove extra water, and misting lightly with Revitalizing Leave-In Conditioner.
  2. Hair should be damp but not saturated as you separate the hair into sections to be twisted, make sure that the sections are as uniform as possible. (try using a rat-tail comb for creating even parts)
  3. Finger comb each individual section before twisting, working Twist & Lock through each section to provide a light, non-sticky hold.
  4. Divide each section into two, equal parts and begin to twist each section of hair around the other until you reach the ends. Twist in the same direction for each section expect around your face where you may want to twist back and away from your face.
  5. Spritz ends lightly with Natural Hold Spray Gel, hold firmly between two finger, and gradually release pressure – twists will loosen and settle on their own.


Please note that two strand twists styles work best on natural hair, the curly or coily ends helps to secure the twists for longer wear.

Like most of us, you’ve probably gotten in the habit of buying ‘single purpose’ products…such as shaving cream or gel. Seduced by fancy packaging and exotic ingredients, it’s easy to bow to marketing pressure and buy another product to put on your bathroom shelf.

Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner

Stop! Rather than pricey shaving cream or gel, use Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner! It’s convenient, softens the hair you’re about to shave, saves you money, and best of all Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner has soothing ingredients like green tea and lavender oil along with moisturizing jojoba oil. Kind to even the most difficult skin, Nutrient Replenishing Conditioner will leave your skin soft, silky smooth and nourished, naturally.
